The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
The To Be collection from Police has always been about identity, about the kind of person who walks through the world without announcing themselves. Super[Natural], released in 2023, takes that idea and strips away the bravado. Perfumer Véronique Nyberg was tasked with building a composition that felt effortless, a floral-woody skin scent with a citrus-spice pulse running underneath. The bergamot in the opening sets a bright, clean tone, while pink pepper adds a subtle flicker of warmth without tipping into anything sharp or aggressive. Lotus softens the edges, lending a creamy roundness that bridges the citrus into the herbal, slightly green geranium at the heart. Cardamom threads through the middle, bringing a spiced warmth that feels lived-in rather than loud.
Bergamot and pink pepper up top give it nerve, that first-impression sparkle that says awake and alive. The heart softens fast, though. Bourbon geranium brings a green, almost minty facet that keeps the florals from tipping into sweetness, while cardamom adds warmth without weight. Freesia lightens everything, keeps the mid-phase from getting too serious. It is a tightly built floral-spicy bridge that knows exactly when to pull back.
The evolution
The first 15 minutes belong to the top. Bergamot hits first, sharp and almost fizzy, then lotus rounds the edges into something creamier. Pink pepper flickers underneath like a pilot light, present but not aggressive. The geranium and cardamom take their time settling in, working through the early stages as the citrus begins to mellow. The geranium reads green and slightly herbal, almost rosemary-adjacent, while cardamom settles in like the warmth of a cup held between both hands. Freesia keeps it bright, lifting the heart with a clean, airy quality that keeps the composition from tipping into anything dense. Nothing heavy yet, nothing challenging. As the composition continues to develop, the base starts to surface. Cashmere wood does exactly what it promises, a fabric-soft warmth that reads like dry cotton or the inside of a well-worn collar.
Cultural impact
To Be Super[Natural] sits in an interesting space, a floral-woody composition that leans on bergamot and pink pepper at the top, geranium and cardamom at the heart, and a base of cashmere wood, Lorenox™, and Orcanox. The result is a scent that wears easily across seasons and settings, equally at home in cooler air or warmer months. The interplay between the green, herbal geranium and the spiced warmth of cardamom gives the heart a grounded quality, while the base settles into a soft, ambery finish that stays close to the skin.
